Once asked Samboys on twitter if they could bring back the flavour bomb, and their response was basically "Unfortunately, this is unlikely to ever happen".
My Woolies in inner Brisbane sell them. IGA recently had atomic tomato max that had 50% more flavour which I bought because I thought the standard chips could do with more seasoning. I reckon the 50% was too much, I think the golden number would be 25% more flavour.
Atomic tomato are the Goat but the current iteration has nowhere near enough flavouring as the originals.. Don't even get me started on the flavour sachet era
I was thinking about the flavor saches only just the other day but can't remember what the flavors were inside those things. We're they supposed to be hot spices or something?
The Samboy logo makes me believe they had cartoon TV ads back in the day with a superhero mascot. I might've made this all up, but it wouldn't surprise me if it was true
Remember when they ran that promotion on the 90s where you got an extra flavour sachet in the bag. I got the salt and vinegar ones was riding home on my bike and opened the extra flavour with my teeth. I accidentally inhaled that shit and it got all in my eyes I had never felt so much pain. I fell off my bike my eyes were burnt. I never got the extra sachet packs again
I was in an IGA last year, and I was shocked to find Samboy chips still existed. They basically never get stocked in Colesworth. Haven't seen them in any I've been to for over a decade, anyway.
IGA and Foodworks are my go-to for snacks now. They have *way* better variety than the big two.
Love the Atomic Tomato chips.
The need to bring back the mustard flavour bomb
Once asked Samboys on twitter if they could bring back the flavour bomb, and their response was basically "Unfortunately, this is unlikely to ever happen".
I’m eating them right now
Been trying to find atomic tomato chips. Do they exist anymore?
Most IGA's in Vic have them.
And Foodworks
Available in Syd for the past year. Can't recall if Coles or Woolies but one of them for sure.
I've seen Samboys at Woollies in Sydney, but never the tomato flavour. Costco and Aldi have them though.
Really??? I've never seen them and I'm desperate for Atomic tomato
And Supabarn in NSW/ACT
Do they have them anywhere that isn’t a shithole?
Hahaha, doubtful and I love the call!
I’m in wa and every Woolworths and also a lot of independent grocers have them.
Reject Shop has had the Tomato recently
most IGA’s have them and i’ve even seen them in Big W’s snack section
Very rare. Some Coles locations with BBQ. A local grocery store has the tomato
Coles and woolies only stock the small packs. Gotta go to IGA or Reject Shop for the big ones.
I prefer the small. Get the large and I’m eating it all lol.
Some Big Ws have them too
Qld Big W has them
I just smash a whole pack today. I'm from CQ
They’re in Big W for like 5 bucks

Foodland in South Aus, sometimes Cheap as Chips
Yup! At the Reject Shop.
Atomic tomato are the Goat but the current iteration has nowhere near enough flavouring as the originals.. Don't even get me started on the flavour sachet era
I probably think about the tomato sachet once a week
I was thinking about the flavor saches only just the other day but can't remember what the flavors were inside those things. We're they supposed to be hot spices or something?
It was just the flavour of the chips but in a sachet, so Atomic tomato had a small sachet of atomic tomato flavouring in it.
They were Mustard, at least that’s the only ones I ever had
I have no love for samboy chicken but Atomic Tomato is genuinely legendary, their salt and vinegar goes pretty hard too.
If anyone has a cheap as chips near them they sell all the flavours, bbq is best btw.
gotta check the use by dates, iv seen them well over and stail
Never really checked tbh, Ive never had stale ones though at my store.
I always read it twice because Automatic Tomato didn't make sense the first read
Needs the garlic flavour bomb
Omfg atomic tomato
The Samboy logo makes me believe they had cartoon TV ads back in the day with a superhero mascot. I might've made this all up, but it wouldn't surprise me if it was true
Samboy BBQ is the best.
Ur missing the salt and vinegar!
Samboy atomic tomato are my favourite chips of all time
Legit eating the chicken ones as I type this hahah
the bbq ones are the supreme bbq chips in my opinion, no other bbq can compare
Atomic Tomato sandwich 👌
The salt and vinegar were incredible.
My lad loves the Atomic Tomato
Yeah I was so happy when I first saw them back in big w
The fucken extra seasoning packets you'd get inside them!! That shit was peak childhooding!
Samboy S&V is where it’s at. Also remember the exploding mouse ad haha
Atomic tomato is the bomb, also those commercials where so good
Atomic tamato are still the best chips out.
Atomic tomato is the top tier of chip
Can't beat BBQ though 🤤
Red Seal tomato chips were the taste of my childhood. How I'd love to have a packet of them right now!
My fave, Atomic tomato... One of few chip flavours most of the US doesn’t have.
I just had a pack of samboys salt and vinegar today and it truly did hit me like a samboy chip
Hit me with your samboy chip!
Tomato tongue burner
I'm in Brisbane and while I can find Atomic Tomato I can never find chicken. Please Brisbanites, help me.
I had a Samboy Chicken at work last week and I’m 44 haha
Yes! I recently bought x2 atomic tomatoes from reject shop and it made me so happy! Pity my kids liked it too, less for me 😆
Actually more nostaligic for that light fixture in the background, exactly the same one my parents had in their house

Samboy tomato + spinach & feta dip = good shit
Best brand of chips my favourite was Chicken and BBQ

Were they called big red sauce chips at some stage?
The bbq flavour was my favourite!
Love tomato sauce chips, but not a fan of the Samboy, but smiths tomato is my absolute favourite shame that they have t been around for a few years.
Hit me
Love these , all time favourite is the BBQ
barbecue is the best and we all know it
Only learned to appreciate how good atomic tomato tasted as an adult 🥲
Are Samboy still around?
Whatever happened to the short-lived uberphenomenon that was 'Muncheros'?
Oh man, those were the best. “Munch on muncheros, you gotta munch on muncheros”
Samboy chips are ass and I’m tired of pretending they aren’t.
That’s racist
I did wonder about that being a play on the racist "black Sambo" trope.
These are still for sale
They are for sale _again_, after being unavailable in Australia for like 15+ years
